Abstract
Various techniques are available to fabricate metal matrix composites (MMCs). The distribution of the reinforcement, after fabrication, is o ne of the important factors affecting the mechanical, physical and oth er properties. This paper describes previous work on aspects, especial ly the solidification behaviour, affecting the final reinforcement and discusses the current methods employed in the quantitative measuremen t of the distribution of the reinforcement.
